TLDR
In this paper, a tensor structure on a category of representations of affine Lie algebras is defined, and the tensor category of finite-dimensional representations of a quantized enveloping algebra is identified.Abstract:
Let g be a finite dimensional simple Lie algebra of simply laced type. Drinfeld has shown that the tensor category of finite-dimensional representations of the corresponding quantized enveloping algebra over formal power series is equivalent to a tensor category whose objects are the finite-dimensional representations of g and whose tensor structure is obtained from the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations. Our paper can be considered as an extension of Drinfeld's work. Following ideas from conformal field theory we define a tensor structure on a category of representations of an affine Lie algebra, and we identify it with the tensor category of finite-dimensional representations of a quantized enveloping algebraread more

Quasi-hom-Lie algebras, central extensions and 2-cocycle-like identities
Daniel Larsson,Sergei Silvestrov +1 more
TL;DR: Hartwig and Larsson as mentioned in this paper introduced the notion of a quasi-hom-Lie algebra, or simply, a qhl-algebra, which is a natural generalization of hom-Lie algebras introduced in a previous paper.
